Why fight it?
Barely half way through my career with 20 years at the pointy end and another 20 to go, the idea of remote control has to be the dream!
Ever since my first flight I have been wondering about the next step. Now I´m hauling heavies on legs longer than reasonable and I might also be in a position to tell others what to do.
The idea of sitting down at a desk, telling the thing somewhere on the other side of the world to cruise at M.86 to be economical, turning off the WX-radar before ******* off for lunch at my own convenience and letting others find out what moderate turbulence or penetrating CB´s feels like at long-range cruise speed while I´m out feels severely tempting.
Oops, my bad if it turns to ****, I no longer have to take part in the immideate consequences.
Any day please!
